I wrote a rule wrong onto the diagram in game 4, and I didn't realize until question #3 of the game, by then I was running low on time to fix my mess, that was -3. The other wrong answer was a misread. So yeah, just stupid mistakes! I'll review and keep the study going, hopefully PT again on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Yeah, that certainly seems fixable. Sounds more like a timing issue as opposed to a reasoning error. Finding out you mis-diagrammed a rule on question 3 is sooooo frustrating because you pretty much are forced to redo the first two questions.

haha thanks, inb4 TTT score and homelessness. I'm going to get my shit together next week, a bit of a bummer but my MCAT friend is going through 100% the same thing and we are on the same schedule once he graduates so I've got a study buddy in a way.

Meanwhile, you're pulling 179s lol.

Im taking in September as well... So much going on right now haha. June Ill have much more freetime all summer till Sept so thatll help a ton.

Me three. I'm just not ready for June, I need more time to get where I want to be.

Yeah my biggest problem with last sept was rushing. I got good enough to score 170+ but didn't have the time to have the unrelenting confidence nor consistency. I studied 4 Months while working on average 75 hrs a week and then the last month school started. So going to take it easy still keep at studying as much as I can get in every day and weekend, but summer the grind will really start. I want to be PTing and drilling my Ass off by the June test, not doing elementary prep stuff like reading the books etc. Im working on MH series now

This is gon sound really stupid, but I think I'm going to refresh all three (PS, MH, and Trainer). Next week, I'll skim through the traniner and then use PS or MH until may-june and june-september use the other. idk, im a mess.

I was thinking of sticking to my plan of finishing Trainer (Done) and the MH Series by june, and then since I have all summer full time of PT and drilling i might not only reference back to MH/Trainer but maybe look at the Bibles again for some other perspectives hmm. Gotta focus on getting MH done first and then i can worry about that later!!! We will see...and decide together I guess when we get to the cross-roads...For now-- Live Laugh Love LSAT Get Shredded

IDK if I should start taking PTs now or finish the second LG by type trainer. I think I'll do both, try to finish the LG by type and also take a PT each week until mid April, when I'll start taking 2-3 per week.

Also, f that damn snakes and lizards game. Seriously, that shit was evil.

Oh wow! That sounds like quite a hectic schedule! My problem was I took forever getting through the 7Sage curriculum and drilling, when I finally finished I just rushed through a bunch of PT's when I was not ready. Now, I'm redoing the curriculum and trying to reinforce all the concepts/foundations. Like you, I plan on using the summer a good few months for PT's and review. Slow and steady wins the race!

My plan is 7Sage for everything, Trainer for Flaws/NA and RC, and self for drilling and explanations and cross refer with the experts. Last time I drilled, I used the experts as a crutch--this time I'm trying to explain it to myself. This better work!!

I personally would finish foolproofing the games first and then move to PT's. But, that's just me.

MediocreAtBest wrote:You guys ever do 4 timed sections of a pt separately (not all in one sitting) and just peek to see what your score would've been? I know it's kinda cheating but in that case I got a 171 on my last pt lol. Gotta have a confidence booster every now and then, that's my justification.

I almost exclusively do this. I only have time for 1 hr of studying a day. So I do 1 section a night + blind review. I have found that my sum of 4 sections is always exact or within 1 point of a full (4-section) test taken in the same week. This has been the case for me every month, (I only take full tests once a month).

Ever since I've started studying, RC has been my best section (never more than -3). But now that I've studied LR/LG with 7sage and done multiple practice tests it seems that the opposite is becoming true. -6 RC (168) then -5 RC (169) on my last two disastrous PTs.... Peaked with a 172 on PT 54 a few weeks ago (with -1 RC)

Has anyone else had something similar happen?

When I do RC by itself I do fine, but then when it appears as the fourth section on a PT and I just fuck up for some reason. And I really don't wanna postpone til Sept.

maybe it's just that when you do PTs, your RC slacks a bit due to fatigue from the other sections?

Yeah you may be right. I know that I expend most of my mental energy on all the LR, so then when I make it to RC I can't keep steady concentration on the passages.

Am still not going through LG with easy - still trouble with timing. Anyone doing an intensive on LG or have done one that they would want to share? Feel like I need to do tons of games but just at a loss of where to start (or if I should do tons of LG sections?).

If you're unhappy with a 168, then you have the right mindset. There's still plenty of time to improve For LG, do you usually try to solve for a couple of possibilities up front, like 7 sage tends to do? Spending a little more time on set up may help with timing if you can speed through the questions quicker, it helped me a little with timing. Still, drilling full sections seems like the solution to getting quicker.
